Form & Verdict
40,000gns yearling; finished down the field in three maiden/novice events (1m), but he's out of a 1m4f winner and looks a possible improver now upped in trip on handicap debut; needs a close look in the market.

Won two handicaps over about 1m4f last summer, in a mixed record; one of the lesser efforts was his AW debut (Kempton Polytrack) when last seen; left Richard Hannon for 20,000gns last October and this is his first run since (gelded in interim).

2-4 since switched to middle-distance handicaps, the latter win gained in three-runner race at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) in August; raced too freely and was well beaten in first-time cheekpieces (retained) last month; not easy to predict on this AW debut.

Form & Verdict
Clearcut winner of a Lingfield maiden (1m, AW) in January; didn't live up to market expectations on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m4f) last month but she ran into a major improver on that reappearance run; still has potential and she could kick on again on this switch to turf.

Both wins have been on AW (latest in March) and her only run at this track did not go well, when favourite over 1m6f on heavy on final start last term; close second with first-time cheekpieces at Goodwood (2m, good) on latest outing, however, is a notable positive.

Form & Verdict
0-8 but she's finished placed behind the highly progressive Pomme Pomme in last two starts; up 3lb but she didn't get much luck at Bath (1m2f, good) last time and this new trip looks worth exploring; interesting contender.
